Advanced Certificate Program

MFG 149 - Introduction to Metal Fabrication (3 Credits)

Metal Fabricators build, assemble and repair products made of steel or other metals for use in a wide variety of manufacturing and construction industries. Metal Fabricators must be familiar with the properties of metal and must have the ability to operate specialized metalworking machines.Students will learn to operate manual cutting & forming equipment and will be introduced to CNC cutting and forming equipment. Students apply blueprint reading skills, computer design skills, and learn Layout & Fabrication Techniques. Students will operate advanced manufacturing equipment such as welding robotics, water-jet, and plasma cutting equipment.Introduction to Metal Fabrication will provide the student with fundamental metal fabrication skills. The course will introduce the student to the following: safety, design & layout, related math & blueprint applications, metallurgy, Cutting, Bending, and Forming Tools & Equipment; and will provide the student the opportunity to utilize welling skills in the formation of projects denoted in work order or blueprint directives.

Demonstrate an understanding of the fundamentals of Assembly Modeling.

Demonstrate an understanding of top-down assembly modeling.

Demonstrate an understanding Rapid Prototyping.

MFG 264 - Metal fabrication Projects (4 Credits)

The Metal FabricationCapstone Projectscourse provides the student projects designed to culminate all skills learned in Introduction to Metal Fabrication,Advanced Metal Fabrication,Metrology, and CAD 220 Solidworks. Given a print or work order the student will Apply industrial safety practices; Interpret Technical Drawings; Perform Advanced Manual and Automated Cutting Processes; Produce Welds to Industry Standards; Produce Precision Fabricated Parts and Assemblies to Specified Drawings; and Perform inspection of welds, parts and assemblies.
